October Afternoon

The beauty that shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October, who could ever clutch it?  (Emerson)





The bright sunshine this October afternoon seems to highlight the already vivid autumn colors.  I recall these photos I took in October of 2010 as well as some favorite autumn quotations. (Note: click on photos to see more detail on larger images.)  




There is no such season when such pleasant and sunny spots can be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.  (Nathaniel Hawthorne)


Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves. 
We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!
(Humbert Wolfe)
